Chapter 459: Nonsense
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Guan Farcn wrapped the medicine in oil paper overnight. The next morning, he carried his things to the hotel’s private room.
Zong Bang had been waiting for a long time. When he saw the big sack that Guan Faren was carrying, his eyes lit up.
Guan Farcn opened the sack and held out his hand. “Pay the silver first.”
Zong Bang took a look and frowned. “Why is it like this? Why isn’t it medicine in a gla.s.s bottle?”
Guan Farcn said, “It’s not easy to take it out in a gla.s.s bottle. It’s all the same medicinal effect. I won’t fool you. Besides, when you took the medicine previously, did you still care about packaging?”
Zong Bang could not rebut and immediately said, “Then you have to charge me less.”
Compared to the exquisitely scaled gla.s.s bottle, the cost would definitely be greatly reduced.
Guan Farcn had complete control over Zong Bang. “You can choose not to buy it. I can sell it to others.”
Zong Bang was furious. As he carefully calculated the number of herbs, he asked, “Why is there only one kind of herb?”
Guan Farcn said proficiently, “There’s a shortage of all kinds of herbs now. It also takes time to brew the medicine. You’ll have more the next time you come.”
At least the quant.i.ty was large and it was a fever medicine. He would definitely make a huge profit.
As soon as Zong Bang handed the silver to Guan Faren, he said, “Alright, I’ll send someone to get the medicine.” The door was knocked open by a group of soldiers.
Zong Bang subconsciously drew his saber. “What do you want?”
When Sun You saw the medicine bag in Zong Bang’s hand, he hurriedly said to the soldier, “Officer, look, it’s them. They stole the medicine from our factory and sold it privately!
With such a huge crime accused, Zong Bang did not respond. He roared, “What the f*ck are you talking about? I spent three times the price to buy the medicine. What’s the point of stealing? If I wanted to steal, I wouldn’t have to spend money.”
The joy on Sun You’s face intensified when he heard that.
Selling drugs at high price was explicitly forbidden in the factory. Guan Faren was Gong Er’s cousin. The two of them were now accomplices.
Guan Farcn had never expected to be caught red-handed on his first transaction. His entire body trembled as he explained, “Officer, this barbarian forced me. If I didn’t sell it to him, he would hit me. I really had no choice.”
Zong Bang did not expect Guan Faren to be so shameless. He kicked him hard. “The silver is still in your hands, yet you dare to frame me. Do you really think I’m made of mud?”
Zong Bang s.n.a.t.c.hed the silver and kicked Guan Faren again. “Get lost. I won’t do business with you Central Plains people anymore.”
Guan Farcn was still accusing him. “Officer, look. He hit me even harder behind your back. I was forced to accept the money.”
Zong Bang was so angry that he laughed. He raised his fist and wanted to punch Guan Faren a few times. “You say that I hit you. I regret not killing you from the beginning. You’re so evil. You even dare to bite me back after asking for three times the price of the medicine. If I’m forced to death by you today, all my clansmen will avenge me even if they have to die.”
The soldier quickly rushed forward and stopped him. “What exactly is going on? When you go to the government office, the Lord will judge the case for you. We won’t wrong a good person, nor will we let any villains off. As long as you’re innocent, we will definitely let you out safely.”
Guan Farcn met the soldier’s clear eyes. Zong Bang wished he could beat him to death. He curled his head and planned to push all the responsibility to Gong Er.
Not long after, Zong Bang and Guan Faren were brought to the government office.
There was a huge amount of stolen medicine from the factory, and there were also problems of inadequate supervision and discrimination. Cui s.h.i.+ze would personally handle this case.
After questioning Sun You, Zong Bang, and Guan Faren, he quickly sent someone to bring Gong Er to the government office.
Gong Er was afraid when he entered the government office. Before Cui s.h.i.+ze could ask, he confessed. “Sir, I only did such a thing under Guan Faren’s persuasion. Please show mercy and spare me this time.”
Guan Farcn hurriedly denied, “Sir, it’s not like that. He was the one who said that he could get the discarded medicine and begged me to help sell it. He even promised to give me some profits after that. I was bought over for a moment, so I thought of selling the medicine to those outsiders.”
Gong Er widened his eyes in disbelief. “Sir, don’t listen to his nonsense. He was the one who said that he had already confirmed the buyer. I just need to get the medicine. I was really blinded by greed and believed his nonsense. Sir, you have to believe me.”
Guan Faren knew the difference between an accomplice and a mastermind.
He said pitifully, “Sir, I can’t get my hands on the medicine. How can I dare to sell it? Sir, I’m really innocent.”
Zong Bang had been stabbed in the back by him before. He sneered. “What nonsense are you accusing me of? You just said that I forced you to sell the medicine. If I wanted to force you, would I have to give you three times the silver? You’re spouting nonsense.”
Cui s.h.i.+ze suddenly looked at Zong Bang. “When did he say that he wanted to sell you three times the price of the medicine?”
Zong Bang immediately said, “Two days ago, my brother and I went to look for him. We wanted him to help us find the supervisor and ask if we could open a branch. He said no, and I wanted to buy some medicine back, so I asked him if he could sell medicine.”
Cui s.h.i.+ze nodded and looked at Gong Er. “Then when did he look for you?”
Gong Er’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, “A day ago!”
After confirming the buyer, Guan Faren looked for Gong Er, which meant that Gong Er was indeed not the main culprit.
Cui s.h.i.+ze’s eyes were sharp. “Guan Faren, if you still refuse to confess, your crime of distorting the truth will be even worse!”
Guan Faren had no way to continue twisting facts. He kowtowed. “Sir, please spare me. I know my mistake. Please forgive me.”
Guan Farcn instigated Gong Er to steal the factory medicine and sell it at a high price for huge profits. He was sentenced to 20 years of imprisonment and fined 50 taels of silver.
Gong Er had committed theft and was an accomplice. As he had a good att.i.tude in taking the initiative to confess, he was removed from his position in the factory and was sentenced to ten years of imprisonment and fined 20 taels of silver.
Zong Bang bought the medicine at a high price. Fortunately, he was only buying the medicine and did not collude with Guan Faren, so he was released.
However, Cui s.h.i.+ze still reminded him kindly, “Even if it’s medicine bought through legal channels, selling it at a high price is equivalent to committing a crime. You have to know.”
Zong Bang was stunned. “Why can’t I set a price for my own things?”
Cui s.h.i.+ze’s expression suddenly turned serious. “This is Carefree Kingdom. There are national laws and family rules. As a member of Carefree Kingdom, you should abide by them. Moreover, the original intention of developing over-the-counter medicine was to let the people of the world have effective low-cost medicine.”
Zong Bang was especially unhappy. “I helped to transport the medicine back. I can’t make a loss, right?”
Cui s.h.i.+ze said, “As long as it doesn’t exceed the sale price.”
Zong Bang felt that he was joking. “I can’t even buy medicine now, but you still want me to sell it to others at a price that doesn’t exceed the sale price. With your brain, you can even become an official. I wonder how you become an official.” He didn’t believe that he could control him after leaving Carefree City and secretly selling medicine..
